If you can get a pair of in water beach/reef shoes we highly recommend it as a lot of the beach has old broken coral that can be hard on soft city feet on the main beach. If hiking up to the lighthouse or any other trails definitely wear gym shoes. This is a north facing island and the snorkelling is very well protected from any high winds.

What a pretty island. The staff are amazing from checking in, to on the boat, to arriving and leaving the island everyone is so polite and courteous. The island itself is just amazing, the water was good and the extra activities like the sea trampoline and the paddle boarding was wonderful. Cairns is a fantastic place to visit and we will be returning for a longer period, so much to see and do.
